Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

SpainThe Hostel is really well located in a quiet neighbourhood to a walking distance from the main attractions in Tirana. The hostel is well equippped and everything is brand new. Owner is really friendly and can help you with any doubt about your stay in Tirana and Albania. All in all, it is an excellent option value for money. Really recommendable!

VietnamMaybe not a bad thing but hostel was empty. First night I was there only 1 other person in the hostel. Second night was a total of 4 others. I didn’t mind it though! No free breakfast / coffee.
The hostel is very new so much so that it has that new smell. Each bed has a plug and a light - perfect for charging your things overnight. 10 minute walk from the square. The host helped me book an early taxi the next day. The dog is very cute, it will not jump or bark at you but just wag it’s tail a lot!

ChinaAdding hooks in the shower will be handy.
The owner is very nice, I arrived at midnight and he's there for me. If you arrived from the airport, can contact the owner for arrange a taxi, around 10€ that can save you troubles in finding the place. It's a new hostel, things are clean, worth the price totally. Location is great too, few walk you can get to center.

Hong KongIn Blue Door Hostel, the bathroom is a bit old. There's lack of hangers for hanger clothes when you take shower. Inside the dorm room, when you move a bit on your bed it will caused sounds.
As the Bearded Dad hostel is full, the staff transferred me to another hostel The Blue Door hostel which is 10 minutes away from the original one. Over the stay there, staffs are friendly. There's a large common area including kitchen. There are many board games, card games, dart you can play with. Every morning , the ladies would prepare breakfast for all of you which I like the most!

Portugalthe bathroom set up was a bit uncomfortable. We had to take off our shoes and use some slippers they gave us (did not know if they were shared amongst guests). Location is not the best - a bit too north from everything.

LuxembourgI had booked a room for my mother here. And unfortunately her flight was delayed and she got to the airport after midnight. Due to her delay she showed up exhausted after midnight and this hostel double charged her. This is insane -charging a lady in her 50s double price for a bed, after having her flight delayed!!!!

SingaporeThe room that I was staying at didn't have AC and just a portable cooling fan. I was perspiring throughout the night and constantly woke up to scratch some bites that I had gotten sleeping in the room. A guy in the same room warned me about the mosquitos and said he didn't understand why we were not assigned to the room with AC since it wasn't fully occupied. It was already late when he told me this and I didn't think it was that bad until I kept waking up in the middle of the night. I also kept slipping on the rugs in the common area and room since they move around easily. Toilet and showers were tiny and shower cubicles do not have any hooks in them at all. Also, if you're expecting a fun and sociable hostel, this place is not for you. Luckily I only stayed one night.
Located in a quiet alley and about 15 mins walk to the square. Hostel is clean in general.

Ireland- No kitchen facilities including fridge or freezer, place to store food or even glasses or a kettle. - The use of an appliance tripped the fuse box and we were left without power, lights, air con, electricity with no owner present and no response to phone calls for an hour. - Very unsocial hostel the common area that was displayed in pictures was locked to guests. We were told to be quiet at 9:30 and overall very controlling atmosphere. Overall this is a nice place but if you are looking for a fun sociable and welcoming hostel this is not for you. Also I would not recommend to travellers in a budget as there is no where to make or store food you are forced to eat out 24/7
- Excellent location close to all city attractions. - Comfortable and clean beds. - Bathrooms and showers are clean. - Air conditioning in the room.

Ukraineit feels like a person who did the design new nothing about ergonomics, what annoyed me the most: - you cannot fully seat on the bed (the bed on top is too close) - there is no place to put your stuff in the shower, no even a hook for your towel, moreover, shower cabins are small & the shower is a combined one (for women & for men), the door to it doesn't lock, so changing clothes before and after shower was a hell of experience
people who work they were very nice, hostel is in a good location

SwedenCompared to other hostels in Albania the stuff was not so welcoming and engaging. For example the made ut ny problem they could not give change on payment. Also if you don't eat eggs there was nothing for breakfast. Towel not included. And it said it was to be quite after 11 pm but it for sure was bot until the early morning, something that is normally respected at hostels.
Good common area. Good lockers in the rooms. Beds comfy. Location is good.
